In the town of Keonjhar, a concerning incident has occurred where a group of 20-25 women have been tricked while trying to link their Aadhaar cards with their mobile numbers. It is believed that money has been taken out of their savings accounts during the process. This issue first came to light when several applicants filed complaints at Telkoi police station on Friday, which has prompted the police to launch an investigation.
According to sources, a number of women from Benamunda and Galda villages had visited a Jana Seva Kendra at Benamunda on October 4 to connect their mobile numbers with Aadhaar in order to receive benefits from the Subhadra Yojana. It is said that a young man at the centre helped them with the process and took their fingerprints on an e-POS device for authentication.
However, the women soon discovered that money had been withdrawn from their savings accounts. One of the victims, Satyabhama Sahu, who is the wife of Trilochan Sahu, received a message on her mobile stating that Rs 10,000 had been taken out of her bank account on October 4, followed by another Rs 10,000 on October 6. Similarly, other women such as Snehalata Baksingh, Bhabani Patra, Jyotirmayee Dehuri, and Sanjukta Jena from Galda village have also fallen victim to the scam at the same Aadhaar centre. The officer in charge of Telkoi police station, Sushant Parida, stated that they have requested for more details after receiving the complaint and that the young man who helped them denied any involvement in the incident.
This unfortunate event has caused distress and concern among the women who were simply trying to avail the benefits of a government scheme. The police are working diligently to gather more information and bring justice to those who have been affected. It is important for people to be cautious and careful while sharing personal information and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Let us hope that this issue is resolved soon and that the victims receive the justice they deserve.
